American entrepreneur : the fascinating stories of the people who defined business in the United States
Larry Schweikart, Lynne Pierson Doti.
New York : American Management Association, c2010.
Weaving together vivid narrative with economic analysis, "American Entrepreneur" vividly illustrates the history of business in the United States from the point of view of the enterprising men and women who made it happen.
     

Entrepreneur - A person who takes the risk of organizing and operating a new business venture.

The most important resource for entrepreneurial success is you. Identifying your strengths and weaknesses will help you succeed in becoming an entrepreneur:

  • Have the courage to take the first step of starting a new business.
  • Listen to your passion and connect it with your interests.
  • Have faith to enter a new comfort zone.
  • Have trust to expect financial success.

 

What entrepreneurs say
sets their company apart

"The people and the value that we create for the customer."

"We accept nothing less than excellence from ourselves and our clients."

"I don't think our company is extraordinary. But, I hope we will be someday."

Successful opportunities do not always require a major capital investment. In the 1930s, Josephine Esther Mentzer assisted her uncle by selling skin care balm. With an initial $100 investment, she quickly created her own products. Estee Lauder has since created a major cosmetic corporation with billions of dollars in sales. How? She convinced department stores, rather than drug stores, to sell her products.

Entrepreneurs must:

  • Discover the perfect business opportunity.
  • Create a business plan.
  • Finance business with venture capital or debt financing.
  • Manage for growth.

Successful entrepeneurs are go-getters who understand the need to be independent, persistent, and decisive. They are willing to tackle projects and situations aggressively. Entrepreneurs with brilliant ideas and financial backing will be tomorrow's corporate leaders.
